THE STOCK LAW.
Some Interesting Facts About Fem



CeS.
Editor Morning Ne,cs: Your weil-con-
sidered article in Mondays issue upon
the mo Fence Law" deserves the serious
attention of the people. in order to en-
able your readers to better understand
the vast Importance of the article in
question, l cannot illustrate it more
forcibly than by placing before them the
following statements and figures Dor
rowed from the report of the Agricultural
Department at Washington for 1885.
COST OF FENCING.
The cost Of building ard repairing
fences in the United States for 1879, ac-
coTding To the reports OF the last census,
amounted TO $71. 1852, 413. East OF the Goth
meridian there were 239, 147, 202 acres OF
land embraced in FARMS. The cost OF
building and repairing the fences on
those farms was $65.32I ,l07. The average
cost per acre was 27.3c. Now, if this
whole section was under the operation OF
the ''stock law" the annual saving in
timber, time and money would be i'm.
mense, while the advantage to the young
growth in the forest would be incalcula-
ble-for, next to forest fires, hogs, cattle
and sheep are most destructive TO young
forest trees.
cost of the two methods, take the county
OF Mecklenburg, in North Carolina. This
county has had the ''stock law" in force
for mann years. According TO the census
reports 1t had lag, 243 acres in farms. The
cost OF building and repairing fences in
1879 was $6,2l6, an average of 4.3 cents
per acre. II, therefore, the cost OF build
ing and repairing the fences on farms
wnere the "stock law" is in force is 4.3
cents per acre, then, at the same rate for
the $50, 147,20S acres in farms lying east
Of the ninety-1fth meridian, the cost
would be only $l0.2s3, 329, an annual
saving OF S55.043,77 or an average OF
$l5 SO to each farm.
Vast as the country is and unlimited
a. are it's resources and wealth, 1t would
not be unwise % exercise the above
economy. The figures given represent
facts, and If the people would only pause
to think they would unquestionably find
it TO their advantage to take Immediately
such steps as will do away with fences.
